6.1 Information for planning
In the planning and design phase, care must be taken regarding the functions
or applications to be executed by the kinematic system. The following condi-
tions can lead to premature wear. They necessitate shorter maintenance in-
tervals and/or earlier exchange of components. In addition, the permissible
operating parameters specified in the technical data must be taken into ac-
count and observed during planning.

Continuous operation near temperature limits or in abrasive environments

Continuous operation close to the performance limits, e.g. high rpm of an
axis

High duty cycle of individual axes

Monotonous motion profiles, e.g. short, frequently recurring axis motions

Static axis positions, e.g. continuous vertical position of a wrist axis

External forces (process forces) acting on the robot
If one or more of these conditions are to apply during operation of the kinemat-
ic system, KUKA Roboter GmbH must be consulted.
If the robot reaches its corresponding operation limit or if it is operated near
the limit for a period of time, the built-in monitoring functions come into effect
and the robot is automatically switched off.
This protective function can limit the availability of the robot system.
6.2 Mounting base
Description
The mounting base is used for fastening the robot to a concrete foundation.
Adjustable leveling elements attached to the head plates of the columns are
used for aligning the beam on the columns.
Mounting base
The mounting base with bedplates ( >>> Fig. 6-1 ) consists of:

Leveling screws

Bedplate

Weld-on plate

Resin-bonded anchors

Fasteners
The base plates of the columns are screwed to the weld-on plate ( >>> Fig. 6-
1 ). For installation, the column with screwed on weld-on plate is clamped onto
the bedplate with 4 forked clamps (M24x130-8.8). The bedplate is anchored
to the concrete foundation.
For aligning the columns, additional weld-on installation aids can be attached
to the bedplate. These enable the columns to be shifted a specific distance on
the bedplate and/or rotated. The vertical position of the columns can also be
adjusted by means of 4 additional leveling screws. After alignment of the
beam, the weld-on plate is welded to the bedplate and the components are
fastened together with screws.
This mounting base requires a level and smooth surface on a concrete foun-
dation with adequate load bearing capacity. The minimum dimensions must
be observed.
Only the fastening elements provided by the manufacturer may be fitted.
